| Research Abstract |
In order to clarify traditional use of plant resources, which is threatened by rapid economic growth and globalization in the tropics, and study recent changes of habitats and genetic diversity of several plant resources, present research had been carried out for 4 years. The survey in the target areas in Mainland Southeast Asia revealed that in shifting cultivation areas ecosystems of fallow forests were changing rapidly and that in homegardens local knowledge on utilization of plant resources was being lost irrespective of the fact that species diversities are generally maintained. Diversified utilization of wild mango was observed in whole area of mainland Southeast Asia, but there were also large regional differences.
